That is indeed the one that I saw at VCF.  This one implements the floppy
drive and disk  end of things, and it looks like you upload a disk image
into the memory on the device itself, and then can copy it back.  The
instructions for the Coco indicate that 35 cyl is the largest disk the
internal memory can hold.  Also mentions trouble with .dsk images.  My
idea if written carefully can check for this problem - if you give it a 35
cyl disk image and try to access cyl 40, that will be off the end of the
given image file so an IO Error can be returned.
